- hunterb123 5y agoThe difference between a credit score and a social credit score system is one is based on debt payment history and the other based on political dissent & debt payment. Currently saying "Lets Go Brandon" doesn't drop your credit score, in China you may lose quite a few points for posting that pesky bear that likes honey.
- Iefthandrule 5y agoHaving an arrest on your record is enough to bar your from job and housing, even if charges were dropped or you were found not guilty. That alone is enough of a chilling effect to affect behavior: for example, staying away from protests or not questioning a police officer. Again, we are already there.
- hunterb123 5y agoA criminal background check is not connected to your credit score and a convicted criminal charge is not the same as political dissent. Stop moving goal posts. I was arrested once and I got the charge expunged with community service. Hasn't affected my job applications so far.
- tehjoker 5y agoIs there any evidence that political dissent drops a social credit score?
- hunterb123 5y agoLet's wait for the CCP to answer that... They may be too busy with genocide though.
- Iefthandrule 5y agoA background check is run in addition to a credit check.
